Kawhi’s stamina meter ran out at like 1 min into OT, just a total non factor.

Clippers gave up 310 points in 2 games

 

[moe200069]

Clippers gave up 310 points in 2 games

when you factor in 3 OTs, that's 310 points in just over 9 quarters of basketball.. yikes.

i thought Clippers were supposed to be elite at defense. they need Zubac back

Perfect night of basketball for ESPN to drag Legler from out da basement for his monthly TV appearance.

Randle and Brunson: 1797 minutes played together as Knicks.

Zion and Ingram: 1908 minutes played together since being Pelicans.

 

[wavycrocket]

4 to 12 seed, separated by 3 games in the west

This season is nuts. The play in, might actually be a good idea for this season

 

[T0INE]

Hopefully Celtics/Knicks on Monday continues the trend of entertaining games.

Did some googles and you're right.

Makes sense but still crazy to think about

What Happens When A Plane Is Hit By Lightning?

When lightning does strike an aircraft, it is often not a cause for concern.

simpleflying.com

Random but that reminds me of this story I read about a flight that got struck by lightning and only one person survived
LANSA Flight 508

The plane was struck by lightning mid-flight and began to disintegrate before plummeting to the ground. Koepcke found herself still strapped to her seat, falling 3,000 m (10,000 ft) into the Amazon rainforest.

Last week every radio station/talking head TV show complained and whined and cried every segment about the All Star game. Bunch of old white dudes pinning for the 70's and 80's

Tomorrow, every single one of em will be jerkin off on air over this weekend's games.

And play-in/playoff time is going to be a literal bloodbath every night. But that exhibition game in February......

I didn’t think Lue’s rotations were that bad. Just need to play Morris less & Mann/Batum more.

Yeah, Russ not playing I thought was a solid move. He'd kill their crunch time spacing plus giving him more time could lead to more erratic mistakes.

That said, Morris and Gordon were so bad I can see them #LettingRussCook with a bigger role now.

Gordon should have sat for Norm/Mann to close the game
